I am having a communication issue with a Hitachi Seiki HT20SIII with Seicos Multi Control (1996). What had happened was, while I was sending a program to the machine from my computer, and the transfer was still in progress when someone accidentally hit the "emergency stop" button. I restarted the machine, but now when I go into "Edit" mode, and no matter what I choose (send, recieve, etc...) it shows the usual screen, but it has no programs listed, no communication parameters (Baud rate, RS232C, etc) are listed. So if I try to input a progam, instantly the whole thing freezes, and I hear a 'CLICK' coming from the back of the machine. You cant do anyting after that, no buttons work at all. If you have any idea, please help me out. If you need more information let me know and I will update my post.

email one of the posters with your machine and ask them.

Hello! If its your computer, you remove the round cmos battery and replace it..that reloads the bios to factory settings. On the lathe controller can you disconnect and reconnect the power and let the device reinitialize itself with out harm? Also, google for your machine and find someone who has one and do an out of the blue.."found you had a machine like mine" email and ask them, chanches are very good you would get some response. Make sure you have the operating manual..you might be able to get one frree at ebama..look for your machine in advanced google search specifing pdf as file type
